"The old joke comes to mind: I have had some great meals at Nana's but this was not it It is still quite good but recently has seemed not up to it's usual standards. The menu has suffered from trying too hard to be on some cutting edge. This particular meal had nothing on the appetizer list that sounded appetizing. I settled for a lettuce salad that I thought was safe but it turned out to be too spicy, (not something you expect from lettuce) and no charm or appeal. The entree of baked chicken is their signature dish and in the past has been stellar. This time is was OK, still tender and juicy but it was served on a bed of tired greens and overcooked broccoli. Even the bread was a bit overdone by being way too salty. The mashed potatoes were fine as usual however. Desserts are often excellent but the offering of apple and blackberry crumble with ice cream was a failure. The apples were tough and chewy; the blackberries had little flavor. The crumble turned out to be a granola-like topping that really needed some cinnamon or other flavoring to give the dish some appeal. So sadly this meal has dropped Nana's down the list of worth the price paid and it is a bit of a puzzle to explain what happened. None of the dishes really merited being returned to the kitchen but the overall impression was that next time other Durham choices should move to the top of the list."
